In our case the server was just restarted and the problem had persisted all over the week end. The annoying part is that no alert was triggered also if the process wasn't actually running... I don't think the server was overloaded upon restart anyway but I can't reproduce the problem neither... Maybe an event should be launched in that kinds of situation. Just to let the sysop know
Hello Luca Cazzaniga,
you analysed the problem well, I think. Sometimes I got the same
problem, but this depend to a very high workload on the system (Linux
and AIX).

I wait some minutes and the problem disapper.
This will not solve the problem itself, but I do not know how to
reproduce such a problem. Therefore, it is difficult to fix the problem.
For your information only,
Lutz
